I set shape to "none", but the background is not transparent. Why is this happening?
I just upgraded my Android Studio version to 3.5.2. Before this version, it worked fine.

The same issue has been reported both on stackOverflow and Google issue tracker. Turns out this is intended behavior so it will not be fixed with an update of Android Studio.
You can though follow Abbas m's response to manually create a transparent background drawable resource and use it as the background layer with "Launcher Icons (Adaptive and Legacy)" Icon Type.
